To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Grouse S. LIVENGOOD,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Walla Walla, in the county of Walla Walla Bibs, of which the following is a specification. a 3 This'invention relates to hose-bibs and the rovide a deice of this character which will permit the nose to be dragged around from place to place without putting kinks in the hose and thus choking the supply of water and'which will revent the hose from breaking or burs-ting at these points. i

A further object of the invention is the provision of a valve of this type having a casing swiveled onthe head of the valve in.

such a manner that the pressure of the water will always maintain a tight joint between *the head and the casin when the water is turned on and which will permit the casing to swing entirely around the head, so that kinks or bad bends in the hose are avoided.

Further objects of the invention will ape pear as the following specific description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, which forms apart of this application, and in which': n

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the device. Fig. 2 is a horizontahsection taken municates with the passage through the pipe section 2 and is tapered upon its outer side soas to be received within the tapered casing section 5, This casingsection has secured thereto, u on its upper end, an L 6 'bottom of the end 5 and lies in the havinga reduce threaded extension 7 upon 'whichthe; hose coupling is adapted'to be connected The lower end of the casing section 5 is provided with an annular inturned flange 8 which extends beneath the ath of an adjusting nut 9 threaded upon t e pipe extension 2;: By the use. of this adjusting uut'the friction between the head and the section fittin u casing section 5 may be properlyregulated, so as to secure a tight'ioint between the'pa'rts and thereby prevent leaka e."
